. . . Midgard. . . 7:49 PM. . .

I had to see what made my other self so attracted to this woman. The woman known as Knight Tackdottir.  So I asked around  where to find her, earning some puzzled looks at best, and boy  did it take longer than I expected to find one single woman. I never found it difficult to find a man. As the saying goes, "There is more than one fish in the sea."

I leaned against a tree seeing the blue water somewhat glowing but maybe it was the moonlight striking it.

And then she jumped from the top, attireless, in the shape of a cannon bolt.

Knight's head came out first and then came a laugh  as her hair was right in the way of her line of sight.

"I know you're there, shy one!" Came a voice that was different from the one I heard aboard the Enterprise.

It was British like,younger, and very amused.

She was relatively calm yet happy.

"I am not shy," I said. "I was just thinking  how to approach you."

Knight laughed moving hair out of the way of her eyes.

"Same thing as being shy," Knight said,  swimming to the side of the large body of water by a boulder nearly soaked by water. "If I am not mistaken you have been following me for the past six hours as a bird, dog, cat, and any domestic creature that I have forgotten."

I narrowed my eyes in her direction.

"How did you know it was me?"  I asked.

"You were following me," Knight said. "I was quite surprised you weren't a bird when I was in the air plane."

"I was  a bird." I said.

Knight laughed.

"You blended in quite well."

"I was the goose with a red spot."

Knight frowned.

"No, you weren't. If you were,  I would have noticed and since I did not see it that could only mean ONE thing. You are a liar."

I stepped forward from the darkness the trees provided.

"Isn't that what I am known for?" I said, watching her skin turn white.

Knight gasped.

"Oh my stars," Knight said. "Prince Loki!"

"Call me Loki," I  said. "And just by that."

Knight's skin turned white.

"Well, erm, uh," Knight said. "Loki, don't catch me off guard like that again!"

"And who's the shy one now?" I said, with a grin.

Knight made a spike appear in one hand then threw it in my direction though I quickly dodged it landing on my side.

"Touche."  I noted.

I stood up on my two feet.

"Why are you invading my privacy?" Knight asked.

"Because you interest me."  I said.

"Oh, how so?" Knight asked, skeptically.

I sat down on a log.

"I met someone who claimed to be you and had been married some-one similar to you," I said. "Screw it," I shook my hand. "She looked exactly like you. So I decided, 'Why not meet the original version who might not be much of a liar?' and here I am."

Knight came close to the water's edge.

"Come here." Knight said.

So I did.

"Closer." Knight said.

And I stepped closer.

"Not quite." Knight said.

I cocked up a brow.

"That trick?" I asked. "That is a old one."

"You are a paranoid prince, you know that?" Knight asked.

"Of course I am," I said, sarcastically. "I am the god of paranoia! Who else would I be?"

Knight laughed.

"I have a gem that no one seen before." Knight said.

"A new gem?" I asked.

"Yes." Knight said.

"Let me see it!" I said.

And as soon as I was very close, on the boulder, Knight tugged me into the water.  Knight was laughing, full heartedly.  I frowned. I took out a Nerf Gun randomly then squirt at her face mischievously. Now I was the one laughing. Knight pouted, probably believing I was being unfair, at me.

"No fair!" Knight said. "You are the master of magic!"

I grinned.

"Do you want to swim in the ocean?" I asked.

"Er. . . No." Knight said.

"I bet no one let you ride a dolphin before."  I said.

I transformed myself into a dragon then grabbed at Knight by the talons (And also getting her into a swimming suit) and flew over the town in the dead of night. Knight was demanding to be let go! Why would  I just abandon her out in the middle of no where from the sky? My wings beat against the wind quite nicely speeding up the ride.

"Hold on!" I shouted.

"Looookiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Knight screamed.

I dived toward the water changing myself into a dolphin making Knight wrap her arms around my back.

"UP, UP, AND AWAY!"

 "LOKI, I SWEAR IF MY PARENTS PUT YOU UP TO THIS YOUR FATHER WILL KNOW OF THIS!"

We went over a tide past some harmless sharks.

"No one put me up to this!" I laughed.

A little while later I could hear Knight shouting "WOOHOOO!" and spread one arm out in the water.

She was enjoying herself.
